12.Make adjustments to wire feeder.

13.Turn on flux supply system.

14.Begin welding.

4-5. GAS TUNGSTEN ARC WELDING (GTAW)

WARNING: Read and follow safety informa- tion at beginning of entire Section 4 before proceeding.

1.Install and prepare welding power source according to its Owner's Manual.

2.Install Remote Control as instructed in Section 2.

3.Install and prepare High-Frequency unit according to its Owner's Manual if applicable. Scratch start GTAW does not require the use of external high fre- quency.

4.Depress welding power source POWER switch ON button.

5.Place Mode Selector switch in CC position (see Section 3-1).

6.Set ARC CONTROL to MIN. (see Section 3-2). Pilot light should be on.

7.Place CONTACTOR switch in ON position (see Section 3-3).

8.Place AMMETER switch in AVG (Average) position (see Section 3-4).

9.Preset AMPS/BKGD control to desired weld amper- age setting (see Section 3-5). Pilot light should be on.

10.Wear dry insulating gloves and clothing, and wear welding helmet with proper filter lens according to ANSI Z49.1.

11.Prepare for welding as follows:

a.Connect work clamp to clean, bare metal at workpiece.

b.Select and obtain proper tungsten electrode.

c.Prepare tungsten electrode according to weld- ing power source Owner's Manual, and insert into torch.

12.Turn on shielding gas and water supplies as appli- cable.

13.Turn on and adjust High-Frequency unit if applica- ble.

14.Begin welding.

4-6. AIR CARBON ARC CUTTING AND GOUGING (CAC-A)

WARNING: Read and follow safety informa- tion at beginning of entire Section 4 before proceeding.

3.Connect compressed air supply.

4.Depress welding power source POWER switch ON button.

5.Place Mode Selector switch in CC position (see Section 3-1).

6.Set ARC CONTROL to desired position (see Sec- tion 3-2). Pilot light should be on.

7.Place CONTACTOR switch in ON position (see Section 3-3).

8.Place AMMETER switch in AVG (Average) position (see Section 3-4).

9.Preset AMPS/BKGD control to desired amperage setting (see Section 3-5). Pilot light should be on.

10.Wear dry insulating gloves and clothing, and wear welding helmet with proper filter lens according to ANSI Z49.1.

11.Prepare for welding as follows:

a.Connect work clamp to clean, bare metal at workpiece.

b.Select and obtain proper carbon electrode, and insert into torch.

12.Turn on air supply.

13.Begin cutting/gouging process.

4-7. SHUTTING DOWN

1.Stop welding.

2.Depress the welding power source POWER switch OFF button.

3.Turn off the shielding gas and water supplies if appli- cable.

WARNING: HIGH CONCENTRATION OF SHIELDING GASES can harm health or kill.

Shut off gas supply when not in use.

4.Turn off flux supply and compressed air supply if ap- plicable.
